I think you largely made pron's point. Torturing your analogy further, you don't care about the provenance of the plastic toy until it turns out that the factory in China used lead-based paint to decorate it. As an average statis

Intent counts for a great deal in the US court system.[1] The fact that he 'attacked' the NSA may generate additional charges (fraud, etc.) as well as increase the sentences for any convictions. What might have been 2-10 years i

Jeez, I missed this when I posted my reply. It looks as if we're the only two paranoid enough to see the danger and stupid enough to point it out and draw attention to ourselves. I'm sleeping in the bunker tonight.

The "refrigerator" had a false back. When the phones were placed inside and attention directed elsewhere, NSA agents opened the back of the refrigerator and installed bugging devices (complete with reserve power cells) in the pho

Make sure the media don't come with a little surprise. :-)

It seems like one of those certifications you would grab if you were insecure about not having a CS degree. "Look, I can write compilers!"

4chan could destroy popular tech blogs and fora. The main difference is that the people in the government have more pubes and slightly less porn. They're both gangs of people who have personal motivations but a mob mentality.

I'm not sure they have to do much 'selling'. They had a product on the market at the right time to become 'the' solution for computational math. As with many applications or languages (or, in this case, both), bein

The big issue is that 'terrorism' is not about inflicting harm, but fear of harm. A few quad rotor UAVs outfitted as you describe, possibly even with frangible rounds or just dropping tiny flechettes such as those used from the ai

Completely agreed. I would not assume that a person with a month of personal development in a skill would be a specialist in a general area. However, on a smaller team, I think this would be ample to take on the design duties. As for spec

Erlang is not that performant in the general case compared to C/Java/etc. While the conceptual overhead in distribution is much lighter with Erlang, actual computation in an idiomatic implementation tends to be slower than Scala&

I love flexible designers who come from print who have adapted to web/mobile/etc.. Getting PSDs with intelligent layout and absolute color references, offsets, etc. are a dream compared to sloppy html, css, and canned javascript

Leverage what you know and keep the firehose going into your brain. Immersion, commitment, and resourcefulness will get you surprisingly far.

I've found that anyone who has an interest in drawing can get the basics down in a few weeks to a month. 30min/day seems fine. It's not so much becoming an artist as training your brain to make a thing on paper based on what

Shakespeare is particularly evil in this regard, given the terms he coined. Some we have picked up and others haven't made it to the modern age. But, extra credit for compressing such that it still pentas its iambic meter. :-) It woul

MAPs are why you have 'add to cart to see the price' for many items. They aren't fixing the price to the consumer. They are agreeing not to advertise a price below a certain value.

I totally missed that part. Two weeks is nothing. Even if your invoices are "due upon receipt", most companies will default to net-30 and, as a tiny vendor who is no longer engaged, your invoice will be processed after everyone

Small claims courts often have favorable laws governing venue. In California it can be especially onerous (for the defendant) but I believe New York has a similar arrangement. You may be able to file in your county/city, which, if it

I have been eliminating paper books from my library in favor of electronic versions, but I am strongly motivated to put this on my bookshelf. You have not experienced Finnegan's Wake until you have read it in the original Mandarin.

A tour of some of the planned urban areas of China (Chengdu, mentioned in the article, is a fine example, plus pandas!) along with some of the smaller villages makes it very clear that the 'average' Chinese farmer is far worse off
